Woodless Watercolour Pencils or Distress Crayons? A Crafter’s Comparison

I’ve been playing with my Personal Impressions (Pi) Woodless Water Colour Pencils lately, but it made me realise I hadn’t touched my Distress Crayons in ages! So I dug them out and had a creative throwback session … Both tools are water-reactive, versatile, and fun for card-making and journaling — but they behave differently on paper/card/art journals. Let’s take a closer look at each, and see what makes them unique.

Beautiful flowers ...

Over at Polka Doodles Challenges the theme is "Anything Goes" but the DT have been asked to add some texture to their projects.


For my project, I have used the wonderful Lemonade Fizz stamp soup set with papers from the co-ordinating CD. I stamped out the flowers and then re-stamped them in order that I had a further layer. Before assembling the flowers, I placed them in a dotty embossing folder ... which does not show in the photos as sillily I chose to use dotty paper .... head in hands moment!


The flowers have been mounted on to colour co-ordinating mats and then added to a strip of printed card with twine added.


Little stamped hearts were added to the end of each strip and they too were embossed in the same folder. Beside each heart, is the stamped sentiment "beautiful".


A quick card which I think needs to re-created in different colour ways ... I wonder if I still have any ink left in my printer ... ?!?!?!
